Five Essential Skills
The training focuses on providing you with hands-on experiences to develop five essential skills for overcoming defensiveness and building successful relationships:
Collaborative Intention
Stay non-defensive and commit to mutual success in relationships.
Openness
Be open yourself and create a climate of openness where people feel safe enough to raise difficult issues. ​
Self-Accountability
Take responsibility for the choices you make and for the intended and unintended consequences of those choices. ​
Awareness of Self & Others
Commit to know yourself and others well enough to explore and resolve difficult interpersonal issues.
Problem Solving & Negotiating
Skillfully negotiate your way through inevitable conflicts in a way that supports rather than undermines the relationship.
